A nice succinct post, Nabeel. I've been reading The Open Society a little, not an easy read, and I was surprised was how much Popper disliked Plato (which shows I knew/know nothing about Plato).

You say you "don't endorse many of these views" of Popper... I'm curious which views and why? In brief...

Maybe George Soros became the grand master of stock trading using this method. Just like chess GM does. Learning a lot from your articles. Thank you

Shockingly good intro to poppers ideas!

Good overview. Following intrinsic interest/fun perception as signal for worth of pursuit echoes mentions of research taste by e.g. Jim Simons.

Great outlink to Cummings - seemingly bound with interesting ideas!
